The Brooklyn Nets will look to end a seven-game losing streak as they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Cleveland blew out Brooklyn the last time these teams played, and I\u2019m taking the visitors to cover again in my Cavaliers vs. Nets predictions.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s break down what bettors can expect from this matchup in my free NBA picks<\/a> for Sunday, March 1.<\/p>\n

Cavaliers vs Nets prediction<\/p>\n

Cavaliers vs Nets best bet: Cavaliers -12 (-110)<\/p>\n

While the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> have struggled all season long, their current seven-game losing streak is among their lowest points of the year. They\u2019ve also lost every game against the spread in that span, even failing to cover four times as a 10+ point underdog.<\/p>\n

That includes a 112-84 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> on February 19. Cleveland will have to play tonight\u2019s game without Donovan Mitchell, and James Harden remains questionable with a thumb injury, but the Cavs should win this one in a blowout regardless. Cleveland has won six straight against Brooklyn, and I\u2019m taking the Cavaliers to cover again tonight.<\/p>\n

Cavaliers vs Nets same-game parlay<\/p>\n

With Mitchell out and Harden questionable, I\u2019m banking on more production out of Cleveland\u2019s other players today. I\u2019ll take Jarrett Allen<\/a> to score Over 17.5 points, which he\u2019s done in four of his last five games, while Sam Merrill\u2019s<\/a> increased playing time will help him get Over 1.5 assists.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking for Jarrett Allen to add to his growing number of double-doubles after he\u2019s recorded nine in his last 11 games. I\u2019m also banking on both Merrill and Evan Mobley<\/a> to hit their PRA totals without Cleveland\u2019s top options at full strength. Finally, let\u2019s throw in a bet on the Over, which has hit in Brooklyn\u2019s last three games and four of Cleveland\u2019s last five.<\/p>\n
